This chocolate cake recipe is a true chocolate lover's dream. It is a very flavorful moist dark
chocolate cake to make for any type of celebration: Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, Mother's
Day, Valentine's Day, or family reunions. Add a special sentiment on top and bring a smile to
someone's face. This recipe can be baked as a two-layer cake or a single layer sheet cake. You
don't taste the coffee in the cake but it helps to intensify the flavor of the chocolate. We're also
providing you with a recipe for Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing. If you would like to pipe the icing
with a pastry bag, you may need to add more confectioners' sugar to make it stiff. We recommend
sifting the cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar to eliminate lumps in the cake and icing; a mesh
strainer works well for this job.
